THOUGHTS, MUSES AND RANTS OF JAH

He used to be “The Donald.” Now he is just Trump. Sad, small, racist, fascist, stupid Trump. THE ANTI-AMERICANS Political Nation wrote: There is NOTHING Trump and Hegseth won't do to protect themselves instead of our country ... ~ D. Earl Stephens  You might have noticed that in damn near every column I have written that mentions the orange mobster who is somehow once again disgracing our White House, I have dutifully referred to him as the “America-attacking Trump.” I have used this deadly accurate compound modifier steadfastly and very intentionally to describe this despicable man. I have done this strictly for the sake of accuracy and credibility. As a United States citizen first, a United States Navy veteran second, and a journalist third, I have found that the normalization of Trump’s hate for our country, our people, and our governing institutions to have been one of the most egregious and detestable things of all. He regularly spits on America, and that should always be the ...

If you voted for Trump, you are getting exactly what you voted for. Don’t try to act surprised, because Trump and almost every news outlet told you what you were voting for. So own it. Will Ashton posted:  If this is approved, this will be (the) end of our country as we know it.  This IS the Enabling Act of the 1930s.  Everyone needs to understand the significance and the weight of this. This isn’t fear mongering, I will attach the executive order.     UPDATE;    I attached info on executive order in comments.    Open the article snd click on the link.   You need to force this in front of everyone supporting MAGA in your life right now. Talk to your parents, talk to your friends. This is our last chance we are in this together. This is still subject to the rule of law, but if somehow he gets this through, which is more likely than not at the rate we’re going, we are done. The United States will be authoritarian by definition....

 So here we are. 2025. And a federal judge is being grilled like a goddamn criminal while stepping off a passenger train in Havre, Montana, because two dudes in desert camo with “ICE” stitched on their chests decided to play “Show Me Your Papers”—on U.S. soil, with no probable cause, and no legal warrant. You know, just your casual, everyday paramilitary checkpoint at a train stop in America. Totally normal. Larry Baer, an attorney and tribal court judge—mind you, a judge—goes to stretch his legs during a routine Amtrak stop and boom: he’s face-to-face with the soft boot of authoritarianism. No explanation. No legal justification. Just a demand for citizenship confirmation, verbal only if you look like him. Because, let’s be honest, we all know damn well if Baer had a deeper tan or a Spanish accent, they’d be rifling through his bags, pressing him against the train, and asking why his great-great-grandma didn’t speak English. And these ICE goons weren’t subtle either—desert camo. N...

Ever since Trump came down that gilded escalator, I have posted the following and similar. I will continue to post until my last breath or until a second person listens.  The sad part is that we were warned by patriots from Alexander Hamilton to Barry Goldwater, Billy Graham, Bob Robinson and Ghandi. I could even go back to the ancient Greeks.  “Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now” You keep watching the right hand while the left strips you of your rights, your freedom, your Republic. FREETHOUGHT OF THE DAY (We Were Warned) The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a ...

 On Easter Sunday 2025, two men addressed the world. One had trouble breathing, the other had trouble shutting up. One clung to life long enough to offer a final blessing. The other clung to grievance like a toddler with a toy he’d already broken. And in the space between their words—between grace and bile, between resurrection and resentment—we found the chasm that defines this era. THE LAST BLESSING Pope Francis, just days before his death, emerged onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica with the breath of a dying man and the spirit of a giant. Unable to read his own Urbi et Orbi address, he still insisted on standing before the faithful, waving to the crowd, blessing children, offering joy. “Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!” he said. “All of us are children of God.” His message, read aloud on his behalf, pleaded for peace in Gaza, Ukraine, Myanmar, and Congo. He called for aid instead of arms, compassion instead of cruelty. He asked the world not to close its doors to migran...

I was just an infant when I was taken from my homeland of Canada’s First Nations. “Now I live as a foreigner to my people. The pain that is often spoken of that comes with such separation and loss is only dwarfed by the pain of being taken from the life you were born into and forced to live an alternate reality that shouldn’t exist.  This is a perspective not brought up enough. However, it explains the common feeling of being caught between “two worlds” shared by many who are victims of this industry. The knowledge of the industry, its propaganda and the global child supply market along with my own first hand experience makes me a formidable threat to this trafficking scheme. It’s been my steadfast pursuit of the truth that has empowered me to raise my voice despite worldwide opposition. . . . From childhood innocence, to truth in adulthood, I have learned of horrifying atrocities committed in the name of “adoption” or rather the act of taking someone else’s child to own them. The ...
